Chapter 40: Tough Love

*BONNIE’S POV*

The last thing Bonnie could remember before her eyes fell shut from exhaustion was finding the library and collapsing in the nearest leather chair. But when she lifted her eyelids the following morning, she was utterly baffled as to how she got back to Marcus’ bed.

The young woman had stormed out of the room fuming in a seething rage and it seemed quite unlikely for her to voluntarily return. She tried to move, however, she was instantly stopped when she discovered a large, muscular arm was draped around her waist. Suddenly, all of the missing pieces were finally coming together.

Marcus must have come looking for her and found her passed out in the library. Part of her was hoping that she could wake up alone. Her head was swirling with thoughts while her chest was aching with pain and emotions she didn’t have that energy to deal with.

What Bonnie realized that she needed was space.

Space from her agency, space from The Mad House, and space from Marcus.
